Quantum computers have long promised to surpass their classical counterparts, but concretely demonstrating this advantage remains a major challenge. A team of researchers has just taken a significant ...

Physicist Peter P. Orth (left) and computer scientist Markus Bläser are collaborating on the QIAPO project with industry partners Infineon and BMW, as well as the quantum startup planqc, to explore ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

What can quantum computers do that their traditional counterparts absolutely cannot? This is one of the biggest questions facing the fast-growing industry, and now we finally have an unassailable ...

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

Quantum computing marks a major change in how we process information. It goes beyond the binary limits of classical "bits," which exist only as 0 or 1. Instead, it uses "qubits" that can exist in ...
